Obama deploys troops to Syria

For those of you worried about the content of the article since it came from Fox, don't be, it's irrelevant. This is more of a broad opinion I have on the matter, I just used this link since it was the first one that popped up on google news. There are obviously others.

The Syrian rebels, teamed up with Al Qaeda and taliban-funded cells, are nothing more than the same guys we are fighting in Afghanistan. They are religious extremists who oppose democracy. Believe it or not, and this is just my opinion, Assad has the same feelings for terrorists as we do! He hates Al Qaeda!

Why is Obama (not only Obama- McCain was a big supporter of this too, along with other Repubs) authorizing such a stupid deployment? Training the very people that will train and recruit other terrorists? What the heck is going on???

I don't see the problem with this, as long as they are moderate syrian rebels. This could be an effective way to combat ISIS and other extremist groups in Syria.

Hmmmm....

Well, Obama did say that he would not put boots on the ground in Iraq, which he has done, so what's the big deal here? Now that he's a lame duck he can bomb anybody he likes.

And, according to the White House, training troops are not "advisers, so there.

In my opinion, I just think it's so stupid that Obama's training the very people who we're fighting in A-stan. McCain and the Republicans are just as guilty, don't get me wrong- not being Bias. He's just the Commander in Chief and he's ordering a stupid mission.
